PT Camp Survey

I am considering running a Preserving Traditions "train-the-trainers camp." The goals of the camp would be for participants to:
* Learn how to plan and lead effective workshops
* Practice teaching and get feedback on your own facilitation skills
* Explore a variety of technology tools for organizing and promoting workshops
* Learn new food preservation and preparation skills
* Build connections with others who plan to teach traditional foodways in their communities

I would very much value your input about this workshop. Please click "next" to take a short survey to let me know what you think.

4. Unlike most of my workshops, I would need to charge a fee for this camp. What would you be willing to pay for workshops following each of the following models?

Note: Provided meals would be locally-sourced, mostly organic, free-range, prepared by people making a living wage, and would have vegetarian/omnivorous options.

Dinners would be at each person's discretion; we might go out to a restaurant together or folks could make their own arrangements.

6. What would your lodging needs be for a multi-day workshop?

What would your lodging needs be for a multi-day workshop? I would commute to Ann Arbor each day of the workshop

I'm from out of town and would arrange my own lodgings (hotel, friend, camping, etc.)

I'm from out of town and would be interested in a "homestay" with a nifty person in town

7. Ok...realistically, how likely is it that you would really attend a workshop of this sort?

Ok...realistically, how likely is it that you would really attend a workshop of this sort? I'd love to, but realistically, I probably wouldn't be able to come.

There's a small chance I'd come.

It's pretty likely I'd come.

A long as my daughter isn't getting married that day, I'll be there.

I would absolutely attend, but money is an issue.

8. I'd love it if people would commit to teaching at least one class in their local area after attending camp. What do you think about that?

I'd love it if people would commit to teaching at least one class in their local area after attending camp. What do you think about that? I would teach a Preserving Traditions class at the Pittsfield Grange.

I know of another place in my town where I could teach a class.

I would teach a class, but I don't know where I'd teach it.

I don't think I could teach a class (no time, stage fright, too many other commitments, etc.)

Thank you! This will help me greatly as I contemplate offering this workshop.
